On December second, I got asked by my friend Grayson Adkins, asked if I would go this place, for a surprise. I said yeah, and I asked my mom for a ride.

When I arrived I knocked on the door, and the door swung open and pulled me in. "Hi come in we have some houses to build" Patrick, Graysons brother said giddy. "Here were gonna do the barn house."

Grayson looked really happy that I came, and I was too. We took the house out and it was entirely built already. Everyone yelled "LUCKY" at me and Greyson. We chuckled profoundly, as we continued building. After we were about halfway done with out designs we decided to look and well it was….different, we shall put it that way. I looked bad, but when we were done I grabbed the remaining frosting, and dumped it on the giant cookie, giving it the "It needs help now" card. Then Gray and I were discussing what it looked like, and Pat grabbed his nearest item, which was a pair of scissors, and touched the top of the house gently, and the whole house collapsed. Well in the end I ended up keeping the house, and having some good laughs.
